Rumours of the new Ford are thick as autumn leaves,
but the following information I believe to be authentic. The new Ford will be taxed at £12. It will have three speeds forward and will be capable of sixty-five miles per hour. The body is considerably lower than that of the old "car ; four-wheel blakes are fitted, and the petrol con- sumption will be approximately 25 m.p.g. Mr. Ford is entirely confident of success, as he well may be ; for the motor trade of America is all agog over his new "SIX. During the recent visit of our Army in India team to Long Island, Mr. Ford lent the team five Lincoln cars with chauffeurs, and a Ford truck for the British stables. In 1924 he did the same for our team, and, so far as I know, his generosity has never before been publicly acknowledged.
